I worked in pure research for a few years out of college, then managed commercial analytical laboratories for many years.

I was in on the birth of PCs, and involved in the evolution of the first computerized synthesizers.

I currently write database apps for a large international environmental firm. The specialized nature of this highly regulated business precludes the use of "canned" software, so I've carved a niche for myself with this company, thanks to the awesome power and flexibility of Paradox (though I can claim no great prowess as a code-writer).

My main distractions are music (a modicum of talent - visit the Soundclick link), golf (I'm terrible, a 12 handicap), my gorgeous wife (who knows why she stays with me??), and a 2-year old Jack Russell Terrier named Pete (not necessarily in that order).

Pete is my code-writing partner, and a continual source of energy and inspiration, even though he has no degree. Though he does slip me totally bogus advice on occasion (c'mon, Pete - you can't do that with a TCursor!!). Pete himself was born in Michigan, and I picked him (actually, he picked me) from a litter of eight, each one mean as a snake. The whole litter poured out of their house towards me, rolling and snapping and snarling like a pack of wolverines. Pete loves people and especially girls, whom he instantly french-kisses (he gets away with it - he's much cuter than me).

The loose association of Paradox newsgroups has played a major role in keeping my head (barely) above water in this dizzying, brain-busting database world. The Paradox Community is the single most important resource I've found in this context.

I maintain a music site at http://soundclick.com/bands/tbp_music.htm, and a simple personal website at http://home.attbi.com/~tbpmusic/default_l.htm. There are several mp3's at the Soundclick site, and lots of photos at the personal web site.

[Editor's Note: Here are some pics of Pete! Click on the photo to see it full size.]
